For $99 USD, you will receive everything needed for submission to a Japanese ward office (区役所 / 市役所):

1. Affidavit of Competency to Marry (English)
Prepared and notarized by an official New York Notary Public.

A clear Japanese translation suitable for submission to staff at the ward office.

We have a proven track record, so you don’t need to worry about traveling or navigating slow paperwork with your home state’s slow vital records office. If your local ward office additionally requests you receive an apostille for this procedure, I can schedule an appointment at the Japanese consulate in Manhattan and for an extra fee perform this on your behalf.

If your Japanese ward office does not accept the documentation, we will refund your payment in full. Our payment system, via PayPal, makes this easy.
